The ninth episode in the second season of "Masters Of Horror", Rob Schmidt's "Right To Die" is a mediocre entry to the generally great series. I have become quite a fan of "Masters Of Horror", but it has to be said that the episodes differ immensely in quality and scariness. While some episodes such as Takashi Miike's "Imprint", the two episodes by master Dario Argento, or John Carpenter's "Cigarette Burns" are absolutely great, some others such as "The V-Word" or "We All Scream For Ice Cream" sucked big time in my opinion. "Right To Die" is one of several episodes that are neither very good nor very bad. The episode is exceptionally morbid and it bears enough creepiness and originality, and yet it does not really get scary, simply because none of the characters is even only slightly likable. As some other MoH episodes, "Right to Die" has a somewhat political theme, namely the euthanasia debate. A dentist (Martin Donovan) decides to pull the plug on his wife (Julia Anderson), who is comatose and disfigured after an accident. He has to figure out, however, that her vengeful spirit is on the loose... The performances are neither very good nor very bad, but one has to say that Julia Anderson and Robin Sydney make a very hot female cast (hot female cast members are a quality of almost all MoH episodes). The episode is decently shot, there is some very creepy imagery and some scenes are extremely morbid. I couldn't say that I disliked the episode, and yet it sure didn't blow me away either. The characters are unlikable, which makes it quite hard to be scared for them. Still some scenes are creepy enough, and overall the episode is worth the time for fans of the series.

Right to Die (2007) *** (out of 4) Pretty good Masters of Horror entry about a husband (Martin Donovan) who cheats on his wife (Julie Anderson). Later that night they get in a car wreck and the wife is burned 100% over her body and the husband agrees that his wife wouldn't want to be kept alive. However, the girl's mother starts a legal battle to keep her alive so every time the woman dies she is brought back. By doing this, her spirit gets irritated and every time she's brought back, the spirit comes back to haunt the husband. It would seem there would be all sorts of political jabs in this but thankfully director Rob Schmidt keeps that out and instead goes for the horror. There's some pretty gory moments including one scene where they give the burned wife a bath. The revenge segment is pretty good and the performances are better than average.

Why did it sound like the husband kept calling her Appy ? It ruined a great episode and so I can only give it a 6. Proper grammar and pronunciation are essential to a film.It was very Hellraiser what with all the skin ripping though I dunno how anyone can survive without skin the skin is a vital organ to the body the biggest organ actually and without we would die. The more a horror film is true the more creepy it can be and more entertaining.I do admit though that the stories from the great horror directors are very disappointing and very mediocre. 6/10 come on Yankies get your English up to par !

Maybe it's just because I have an intense fear of hospitals and medical stuff, but this one got under my skin (pardon the pun). This piece is brave, not afraid to go over the top and as satisfying as they come in terms of revenge movies. Not only did I find myself feeling lots of hatred for the screwer and lots of sympathy towards the "screwee", I felt myself cringe and feel pangs of disgust at certain junctures which is really a rare and delightful thing for a somewhat jaded horror viewer like myself. Some parts are very reminiscant of "Hellraiser", but come off as tribute rather than imitation. It's a heavy handed piece that does not offer the viewer much to consider, but I enjoy being assaulted by a film once and awhile. This piece brings it and doesn't appologize. I liked this one a lot. Do NOT watch whilst eating pudding.
